High Tide is a spell-based storm variant. ![]() Another fringe artifact-based storm deck, Sidisi tends to draw all the cards at once at the expense of life via Ad Nauseam, but it uses the same method of casting artifacts into Aetherflux Reservoir to win. The deck moved away from the Tendrils game plan when Aetherflux Reservoir took the throne as the premier storm win condition, but I still find myself calling this deck ANT. The downside here is there aren’t a ton of cards in a mono-white colour identity that synergize really well with what we’re trying to accomplish. This deck follows the same pattern of drawing cards incrementally rather than all at once, so we’re likely going to see a lot of overlap in card choices wherever possible. Sram’s a very hit-or-miss commander and being mono-white really hurts for a lot of reasons. I know Sram is a bit of a meme around here, but I think the deck probably feels a little similar to what we’re doing here. With that in mind, I’d like to talk about the other options that are available to us in the space: I think the most important question to ask for any newly spoiled general when you’re brewing at the top-end of the format is: Why Would I Play This Over My Other Options? For those of you who just want to see my Jhoira list, you can find it here. After that, we’ll get into where I see Jhoira slotting in and why I made the choices I made during deck construction. Before we get to talking about Jhoira itself, I’d like to talk about storm decks in EDH, the established storm decks in the competitive meta. I play an Izzet Stax deck that has some storm elements to it, so naturally this got my creative juices flowing. ![]() I know not everyone is into the higher-power aspects of the format, but drawing cards when you cast artifacts screams “storm” to me. ![]()
